Horsepower is crucial for racing domination. But what is the most efficient method to improve the horsepower of your project car? The answer is TURBO. As the saying goes, if you wish to succeed, then you must first sharpen your tools. In this case, this means that you need to have the right weapon for your project car if you wish to leave the competition behind.

A turbo charger kit is the most powerful weapon for street and track car applications. A turbo kit will drastically boost up the intake and exhaust air flow of the engine. An increase in air flow and fuel delivery is equal to incredible engine power gains. When it comes to racing or everyday excitement, it is the most important weapon for your ride.

Turbochargers come in many sizes and physical orientations for all kinds of applications. There are literally hundreds to choose from. Here we’ll explain the basics to understand the technology a little better when selecting your next turbo for your projector car.

Turbos are rated based on how much air they can deliver. Each model usually has specs that explain the capabilities and limitations. The bigger the turbine inside, typically the more air it can deliver at full boost. But the bigger the exhaust turbine is, the more exhaust can pass through easier, reducing back pressure. Larger exhaust turbines are also heavier, having more mass, hence it will take slightly longer spin up to produce build full boost. The length of this spin up process is called “spool time”.

According to standard turbo theory, your engine is happiest when the exhaust pressure and intake manifold pressures are identical throughout the RPM range. This matching will produce the best combination of max horsepower and quick spool time. So how do you measure this? For the shade tree mechanic this is difficult. That's where you depend on Outfront to recommend the best turbo setup to achieve your target horsepower, based on your engine setup and displacement.

Everybody wants a fast spool time to get the horsepower to build at the lowest RPM as possible as you accelerate. So the thing to keep in mind is to select a turbo that has a small enough turbine to spool up quickly, but big enough to pump enough air to support the maximum horsepower you’re targeting to achieve. That’s the tradeoff you need to consider, horsepower versus spool time.

Turbos are often referred to by "T" numbers that are really a "class type" . These numbers were originally created by Garrett, the largest turbo manufacturer in the world. You have probably heard people talking about T3 and T4 turbos in their car. The “T3” number is a general CFM classification. The T number also specifies a compatible exhaust flange type which the turbo will bolt onto. It’s important to understand there are many different types of T3 turbos with different air outputs which are rated for different horsepower applications. So when somebody says they have a T3, they are actually saying what class of turbo they have, and the flange type. Generally speaking T3 class turbos can deliver enough air volume for applications in the 200 to 300HP range.

The bigger T4 turbo has a larger turbine on the exhaust side and larger turbine fins in intake compressor side. This allows the T4 to pump out more air at full boost to achieve more horsepower than T3, assuming the engine displacement is big enough to provide enough exhaust. The penalty you pay is a slightly slower spool time, when compared to a T3 on the same engine. T4 turbos are usually for larger motors and use a different exhaust flange. T4 can deliver enough air for applications in the 400 to 600HP range.

T3 and T4 turbos have been around for a long time and offer great value. These turbos use oil-lite bearings to support the turbine shaft, which eventually wears out after years of usage. The length of usage depends on how often the oil is changed, and what type of oil filter used in the engine setup. The life of the turbo will also be longer if you incorporate a blow-off valve setup somewhere between the turbo and the throttle body valve.

There is another popular turbo class called T3/T4. This was designed to fill the gap between 300 and 400HP configuration. This class of turbo is ideal if you want to start out with a stock Honda engine to produce about 100HP - 150HP, then later upgrade the internals (rods-pistons-block-injectors) of the motor to produce 300+HP. This turbo is assembled with a combination of the exhaust side turbine and housing of a T3 and the air compressor turbine and housing side of a T4. This hybrid combination fits many applications for HONDA CIVIC, CRX, INTEGRA, DELSOL sandrail setups.

You might be thinking….. who would ever buy a turbo without ball bearings? The answer to that is...... a lot of people. Most people buy the conventional T3/T4 without ball bearings because they cost less, about half what ball bearing turbos cost. Another factor is that some ball bearing turbos are not rebuild-able, so be careful. But if money is no option, opt for the newer ball bearing setup, they absolutely rip!

the most part, the only components that need to be purchased or made
are the manifold. We carry downpipes
and manifolds for most vehicles, but we choose to give buyers the option
to purchase their own manifolds because there are important factors
that come into play when choosing the right manifold and downpipe.
First, is material (cast, steel, stainless, ceramic). Second, is design
(cast, log, stainless, ram horn, or custom fabricated). Third, is
clearance (some engine bays require a special design in order to fit).
Fourth, is brand (depends on your budget). Fifth, is power goals (choice
of design and material will determine power characteristics and
capabilities). Last, is engine management (depends on psi, engine,
factory ecu, and budget).

BAR & PLATE INTER-COOLER CORES

Bar and plate intercooler cores function identically to the tube and fin core, with the exception that charge air travels through rectangular shaped passages that have more surface area, thus improving cooling of the air charge. The advantage to using this type of intercooler is that because the bar and plate core design affords up to 35% larger surface area for cooling, a physically smaller intercooler can be used and still retain the cooling efficiency of a larger tube and fin design. This is important for a builder who has a vehicle with a small opening in the front of it or where there are immovable obstructions present. However there is only one disadvantage to the bar and plate design. The bar and plate intercooler is heavier due to the larger surface area and denser fin design. The benefits of more overall power will quickly dissolve the weight issue in most tuner minds.

A turbo kit is the most efficient way to dramatically increase horsepower and torque with the ability to upgrade even more power. Our turbochargers are mostly a bolt on application for stock/modified motors with the proper manifold and are designed to provide optimal power, response, drivability, reliability, fun,and comfort. For naturally aspirated motors looking for real power without sacrificing lots of time and money, then a turbo (forced induction) is the only way to go.

WASTEGATES

Wastegates provide a means to control the boost pressure of the turbo charged engine. Wastegates work to bypass exhaust flow from the turbine wheel. Bypassing the exhaust flow reduces the power driving the turbine wheel to match the power required for a given boost level. Similar to the BOV, the Wastegates uses boost pressure and spring force to regulate the flow bypassing the turbine.

Wastegates are bolted to exhaust manifold or header. The advantage of external Wastegates is that the bypassed flow can be reintroduced into the exhaust stream further downstream of the turbine. This tends to improve the turbine’s performance.
